Quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly in OEM tow package port. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.

Installation
This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package, which is located in your cargo area, on the driver's side. You will have to remove the scuff panel and the cargo holder to access this port. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, insert the included 10-amp fuse into the fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your trunk.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plug on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
A tail light converter is built into this T-connector. This converter is a circuit-protected, battery-powered unit that bypasses the electrical routes that are used by a basic wiring harness. As a result, there is virtually no draw on your tail light circuits.
Because most trailers run on a two-wire system - wherein the brake and turn signals are carried on one wire - the separate brake and turn signals from your vehicle's three-wire system need to be combined so they are compatible with the wiring system of the trailer. This converter combines the brake and turn signal functions of your automobile so that they run on one wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights. Note: This will not affect how the tail lights on your vehicle operate.
Curt builds each tail light converter using surface-mount technology (SMT). This method of construction involves soldering electronic components directly to the surface of a printed circuit board. SMT eliminates the need for leads, which are used in older through-hole technology. The result is a circuit board that is smaller yet provides more routing area and that offers superior performance, reliability and durability.
Circuit boards constructed using SMT have been shown to perform better under rough conditions with excessive vibration than those made using the through-hole method. And where would vibration be more likely to occur than in towing applications? Curt converters also produce less heat, leading to increased durability and longer life. In addition, lower levels of resistance ensure better performance, especially for parts that operate at higher frequencies.
Each Curt circuit board is made using high-quality components that are pieced together in the most technologically savvy fashion, leading to greater predictability and reliability in functioning.

The wiring harness was very easy to install by watching and following the on line YouTube video
Great product and a great price. The video took all the guess work out of removing the plastic trim. The package even arrived a day earlier than the estimate. I highly recommend etrailer.com and this wiring harness.

One year later and still working without a problem. It was so easy to install this kit following the video. It is one of the very few DIY projects that took less time than I expected.
Perfect fit. Your installation videos are amazing. I don’t need to read instructions so I get to keep my man card!

Hey, thanks Nathaniel! Just doing our part to keep man cards from getting revoked. Paper instructions? nah. This is 2025! Now that you have the hitch installed, what are your plans for it?
I bought the Hitch, wiring harness and a bicycle rack for our 2018 Honda Pilot.
The wiring harness was missing from the order and I never followed up on the missing harness since I mainly use the hitch only for the bike rack.
Can you still make this right and send the wiring harness. I'd like to use the hitch to tow a small trailer so I could really use the harness now. Thank You

The wiring harness never showed up.
Purchased the wiring harness along with the receiver in case of pulling a trailer, but haven't had a need to install the wiring yet; haven't towed my trailer this season. Only used the receiver to haul bikes on a hitch bike rack. The wiring harness is a simple installation and can very easily be installed within 10 mins.
The harness is great. But the information said it comes with a grommet to pass under vehicle through where the jack is. Other than that. etrailer is awesome, bought hitches in the past and now wire harness. 100% recommend etrailer.
Easy install and it was exactly what I wanted, can't miss buying from etrailer. Thanks guys, Dave
Perfect fit on a '21 Pilot EX. Fast shipping. Made my wimpy SUV into light tow rig.

Perfect. Easy to install and long lasting gear.
Fast shipping, great product, easy to install. Dietrich was very helpful with helping me get the right product for my 2024 Passport. And he kept me informed of the shipping all the way to my front door. Thank you
Wanted to have a car hitch and this was recommended. Easy to order and very quick delivery. My son installed and was pleased with the quality and ease of installation. Very happy with our new hitch.
I was very surprised on how fast my order was processed and delivered!! I guess I am so used to receiving poor service and poor quality of product! Amazed at such high quality of the trailer hitch and the ease of installing the wiring. I highly recommend your product, any other would be second rate!!
The hitch, harness, and tester are fantastic. I cleaned, lubed, tested the weld nuts. I used a reinforced cardboard box 9x11x16 and a flat piece of cardboard to slide the hitch under the passport. I then lifted one side and put the 16" side of box under it. I then lifted the other side off the ground and got one bolt partially on, before doing the same on the side that was sitting on the box. With one bolt on each side the rest was easy.
I used a torque wrench (the pointer type) to snug it down.
It was easy to get it in place by myself, but the hard part was torquing it down. You have to apply a decent amount of force, and there isn't much room to swing a wrench. The two bolts (one on each side) closest to the front, are partially obstructed by the exhaust. As a result, you can't use an extension on those two bolts. I was lucky I had a 12 point socket, and made a bunch of small swings.
The harness was easy too. I tried to do it without taking off the side panel, but was unable to SAFELY blindly cut the tape holding the connector, so I popped off the door sill panel and side panel, which was easy after I watched several online videos. I used the included zip ties and double sided tape to make sure nothing rattles, and verified it worked using the tester before popping the panels back on.
I prolly wasted 15 mins trying to accomplish this without pulling off the side panel, but I am glad I took it off, because the extra space made securing everything easy, and ensure that any rattling coming from the back of my passport isn't because of me.
There is a gap between the storage box and the metal frame (under the door sill / threashold plate). I used the foam tape to secure the black box to the metal (covering one of the oval cutouts) and left the wiring loosely rolled in the gap, with the tester attached to it (so I don't loose it).
Just be careful not to strip the Philips head screw under the anchor point. I used my 18v drill on low speed break it loose. I used a number 2 Philips bit, but the bit looked small compared to screw head, if I did it again I would use a larger bit.
In the end, the hitch looks great, the wire harness is out of way (until I need it) the hands free / kick motion door sensor still works, and it cost a song a dance compared to the oem hitch. In fact, I also ordered the 65" Malone roof rack (been waiting a week for that to leave the warehouse, another story) all for under $500, and both are made in USA. Compared to oem hitch, I can have hitch, roof rack, AND fancy bicycle rack that won't rust and fade like my current bike rack.

Wow, thank you very much for taking the time to write this review! It is packed with details and advice that will be super helpful to other readers, and I really appreciate you for that. Let me check on that Malone rack for you!
Great customer service. Fast shipping.
Awesome service as always; could pay less somewhere else but prefer to spend money where the customer service effort is obvious.
The included printed instructions for installing the wiring harness lacked some details that were very clear in an included video. So, it’s important to watch the video, if installing this connector on a 2022 Honda Pilot. The installation of the trailer hitch receiver in the Pilot generally went well though I would suggest that it’s important to use some penetrating oil and wire brushing of the receiving nuts, along with installing and releasing the bolts before trying to connect the hitch receiver. Trying to do it by myself while lying under the Pilot proved a bit too difficult and I ended up doing it the following day with my son. Would likely have been much easier if I had access to a vehicle lift. All good in the end though.
Packaging was destroyed during shipment but hitch was not damaged.
Install was easy
PLug and play for the win!
Harness was just what I needed and as advertised. I worked with William in Customer Service and he provided expert assistance in every respect. I definitely would recommend Etrailer!
The wiring harness failed after using it 3 times. It's wired for a Honda Passport. Literally plug n play, so the failure wasn't due to my installation......very disappointed.
Works as advertised. Installation was relatively easy.
Item is great packaging was destroyed . Extra care should be taken when packaging
Passport trailer wiring harness worked perfectly. Installation video was very very helpful. Installed myself for 1/5 of dealer Installation. Thanks
Installed on Honda Passport with hitch just purchased and installed.
Your video made this install very easy and, of course, adding fuses is great, too.
Thank you, now time to find a boat!

Again, fast delivery, great customer service. Installation on my 2020 Pilot was just like the (2019) video. The 2020 video was not out at the time I installed this. It was done without issue in about 30 minutes. Much easier than my 2015 CRV.
